Our vision
A world without child marriage where girls and women enjoy equal status with boys and men and are able to achieve their full potential in all aspects of their lives.

Our mission
We know that we are more effective when we work together, and believe that – as a Partnership – we will foster real change in girls’ lives.

Together, we will:

* Collaborate to prevent child marriage and support girls who are – or have ever been – married.
* Amplify the voices of girls at risk of child marriage and defend girls’ rights to health, education and the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
* Enhance and strengthen efforts to end child marriage at every level.
* Raise awareness of the harmful impact of child marriage by encouraging open, inclusive and informed discussion at the community, local, national and international level.
* Facilitate learning and coordination between organisations working to end child marriage.
* Mobilise all necessary policy, financial and other support to end child marriage.

The strength and passion of Girls Not Brides lies in our member organisations, who are based across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas and the Middle East.

They work to end child marriage and make sure that all girls around the world can stay in school, stay healthy and have the futures they dream of.
